Splitcoast Challenges

I managed to have a few hours to stamp today and was able to participate in both the Free for All and Queen for the Day challenges on Splitcoaststampers. I used Rubbernecker stamps for both of my designs.

The Free for All challenge is to incorporate color blocking in our design, using patterned paper. I used papers from my Good Neighbor stack by Stampin' Up. I watercolored the umbrella with Rose Red and River Rock and then I stamped the French Script background over the umbrella. The sentiment is a partial one. The entire sentiment reads "Sing in the Rain, Dance in the Sun, Dream in Your Garden." I added pieces of this 1/8" black and white ribbon by Stampin' Up to my color blocking to define and accent the lines.

Dawnmercedes was chosen as Queen for the Day. I cased her Broken Lawn Mower card for my next design. We are required to make changes in our design so that it is not an exact duplicate of the Queen's. Things I changed are:

For those of you who know me, purple is one of my favorite colors. My friend, Joanne, knows this and has blessed me over the years with many purple-icious embellishments. On this card, I used the purple Prima flowers and rhinestones she gave me. I used Stampin' Up markers to color directly onto my image and then stamped the image onto the white cardstock.
